MAPPED: Catalonia Is NOT Alone - The Regions Desperate for Independence Threatening the EU

[Token]

Various German dialects are not even mutually intelligible with each other. And by the way, Dutch language is de facto just a dialect of German. So there is no more justification for the existence of independent Netherlands, than for independent Bavaria.

Not really, Dutch is a Istaveonic language and very distinct from the standard German or others High German dialects, whom falls in the Irmionic category, even if it shares some features with others Franconian and Low German languages. For example, the Low Franconian languages didn't underwent the High German consonant shift, a universal feature in any High German dialect/(language?).
Here in my city a lot of people speak a Moselle Franconian dialect called Hunsrik and, even with some difficult, they can understand standard German for the most part.

It is not my fault that German nationalists decided to create Standard German based on High German.

The whole of North Germany historically spoke various Low German dialects, closely related to Dutch.

Etymology of the word "Dutch" is the same as etymology of the word "Deutsch".

In reality these are the only relevant ones:

This is better:

and Occitánia?

Never heard of them in the real world. First time i heard of Occitania(?) was in an internet forum.

Even from that map the irish and basque issues seem to be dying out, so at the moment the catalans, scottish and belgians are the most loud about it.

And what would they all do with their independence, I wonder?

They will celebrate their independence.

[Raizen]

Plenty of non-sense divisions.

[alnortedelsur]

They will celebrate their independence.

And they're going to be insignificant micro-states.

Those people who want to separate from their countries are stupid narrow minded people.

[Kriptc06]

Fuck separatists

Northern Ireland is nearly as mad as catalonia just now, not quite on that level. They are moving back to direct rule as the parliament has collapsed in last year.

Our Northern Isles, they are a bit different. I'd support their home rule if they ever did want it.
